CONSERVATIVE QUOTE: "I wholeheartedly believe that the media is politicizing this tragedy. It seems that gun control laws is the major topic of conversation rather than focusing on the bigger issue of 17 innocent lives being taken at the hands of another human…I know many people who are pro-gun and others who support gun control but it seems that the media is specifically targeting those in support of gun control to make it seem as if they are the majority, and the liberal news outlets are the ones that seem to make the bigger effort to speak to these people."- Brandon Minoff (Student of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School)

Rep. John Dingell[Berrry] (D-Michigan)

"I'm not going to be carried out feet first...I don't want people to say I stayed too long."

- Announcing his retirement from the House of Representatives.

Hey John! It's too late for that not wanting to stay "too long" stuff...He's been in congress for 58 years!

Not only has he been in Congress "too long," but he succeeded his daddy - And his wife is looking to succeed him...The whole damn family has been in Congress "too long." A virtual Michigan Congressional Dynasty - everything the U.S. isn't supposed to be.

Oh, and Dingell(berry) is a total Libby turd, too...Which is beside the point - or a given because he has (D) after his name.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY

February 22

1980 - In a stunning upset, the United States Olympic hockey team defeated the Soviets 4-3.
I try to not make too many sports references in my history posts, but this is the greatest single event in the history of American sports...It was also at a time when the United States had been reeling under the pathetic leadership of Jimmy Carter, and the Cold War was at an all time high.
I was a 9-year old boy, and I still remember sitting in my dad's living room watching the game on a black-and-white TV, listening to Al Michaels: "Do you believe in miracles?! YES!"

It's almost impossible to state how unlikely the American victory against this Soviet team was. Not only had the Ruskies kicked them around various times during the year, but the Soviets also beat up on an NHL all-star team prior to the Olympics...The Soviet team was a machine, maybe one of the greatest hockey teams ever put together. The American team was a group of college kids scrapped together with little expectation of reaching the medal round, let alone challenging the mighty Soviet juggernaut.

What most Americans don't realize is this victory didn't earn the U.S. team the gold medal - it was a semifinal match...The Americans had to defeat the Finns for the gold medal, which they did by a score of 4-2.

I'm not too proud to admit I still cry when watching a replay of the event, or the movie 'Miracle.'
